The three women were quickly summoned. Their eyes were filled with fear and tears, as if they were seriously ill.
They weren’t pretending. They came to the Marquis Mansion to seek stability and a good life, but not only did they not get what they wanted, but they also offended their master.
As soon as they arrived, the three of them knelt down and kowtowed with tears streaming down their faces. “Master, please spare us.”
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Yuanyuan. “Madam, what do you think we should do?”
The three of them looked at Liu Yuanyuan timidly. They thought that Liu Yuanyuan was not young anymore.
However, from the looks of it, that was not the case. Liu Yuanyuan was strikingly beautiful. The three of them had been here for almost a month and could not even see Su Yanyu. They had spent a lot of effort and used all kinds of methods to get close to him but to no avail. However, Liu Yuanyuan only needed to stand there to make Su Yanyu unable to move his eyes off of her.
They were all envious of her.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at the three of them. “1’11 forgive you for what you have done and give you back your freedom.”
The three of them wiped their tears. “Madam, we’re already homeless. If you don’t mind, we’re willing to stay and serve you.”
No matter where they went, they would be drifters. If they could not find someone to rely on, they would not be any better in the future. If they could be a maidservant, they would have a place.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at the three of them. “Sure, if you want to stay, stay. Go with the butler later and listen to his arrangements.”
The three of them quickly thanked her.
The Marquis Mansion would buy maidservants every year, so it was fine to have a few more maidservants.
When Liu Yuanyuan returned, Su Yanyu was full of energy. He ate and slept well every day and quickly recovered.
After a while, Su Yanyu said to Liu Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, I’m not young anymore. It’s difficult for me to break through in my worm making technique over the years. I’ve learned so much. I don’t want no one to inherit it. When the worms are used in the right way, they can save lives. Why don’t we go out and travel around? If I’m lucky, 1 can perhaps find a few disciples.”
Liu Yuanyuan thought about it and nodded.
After Liu Yuanyuan agreed, Su Yanyu immediately began to pack up. The two of them had nothing to worry about and left immediately.
The butler sent several letters.
When Marquis Su and Mrs. Su received the letters, it was already a few months later. After reading the letters, Mrs. Su sighed sadly. “It’s fate.”
Marquis Su was fishing with his good friend. When the fishing rod moved, he was pleasantly surprised. “Madam, come quickly. The fish has taken the bait.”
Marquis Su and Mrs. Su continued to travel for several years until they could no longer walk.
Liu Yuanyuan and Su Yanyu also took in a few disciples. The eldest was eight years old, and the youngest was four years old.
When Mrs. Su and Marquis Su returned to the capital, the Marquis mansion was already very lively.
It was said that a teacher for a day was a father for life. Marquis Su treated Su Yanyu’s disciples as his grandsons.
Su Yanyu taught them meticulously. He and Liu Yuanyuan did not have any children, so the few disciples they took in were their children. They took his surname, Su, and inherited the worm technique.
After countless seasons, the Liu family sent news that Madam Wei was critically ill.
At night, Su Yanyu kissed Liu Yuanyuan and sighed. “I wonder if Shifu is doing well. Although many people think that she and her husband are both dead, I still believe that they’ve already become immortal and ascended.”
Death was the outcome he was most unwilling to guess.
Liu Yuanyuan’s voice was gentle. “Venerable Liu has indeed attained the Dao.
We can’t see her anymore, but 1 can feel that she’s been here.”
When Su Yanyu thought of this, his eyes lit up. “Shifu has been here? Can she still recognize me? I’m already so old…”
Perhaps they would never see each other again, but at the thought that Liu Sanniang had returned to see him, Su Yanyu was excited and his eyes turned red.
He was old. Everyone was old.
Everyone he had ever known was old.
Liu Yuanyuan kissed Su Yanyu. “Even if you’re old, you’re still Venerable Liu’s disciple.”
Moreover, he was so cute. The older he got, the more lovable he became.
Su Yanyu was a little embarrassed. He was really getting old. The older he got, the more he thought.
“Hu Yu hasn’t been back for many years.”
Liu Yuanyuan smiled. “Hu Yu returned to the mountains. She’s become very hardworking. Previously, when Madam Wei passed away, she came back to see her for the last time.”
Su Yanyu sincerely wished her well. “It’s good that she’s hardworking. I hope she can succeed.”
Liu Yuanyuan nodded. She did not tell Su Yanyu that when Su Yanyu passed away, Hu Yu would also come to send him off.
Marquis Su and Madam Su also passed away one after another.
When Su Yanyu passed away, he was already in his seventies. He held Liu Yuanyuan’s hand and only had eyes for her.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at him and said softly, “Su Yanyu, I’m asking you now.
Are you willing to be with me for eternity? If you’re willing, nod.”
Su Yanyu’s hands trembled. He took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, “I’ve already told you this answer decades ago. I’m willing. 1 was willing in the past, now, and in the future..”
